4 Things I plan to do before I die...

Dive at Austria's Green Lake. This is an alpine park that becomes a lake during summertime. It is the only place in the world that is a park half the year and a lake the other half. It sits at the foot of snow-capped Hochschwab mountains. Throughout the frozen winter months, the area is almost completely dry and is used as a county park. But as soon as the temperatures begin to rise in spring, the ice & snow on the mountaintops begin to melt and water runs down into the basin of land below. The park fills up with ice-cold crystal clear water, which gets its distinctive green coloring from the grass and foliage beneath. It is truly one of the world's rarest phenomenons.

Before my time comes, I want to learn at least 4 different languages. I already know a little from some languages, but I want to be fluent. Communication is so important in life. My priority languages include Italian, Spanish, French, & greek because I have a connection to some part of that culture. 

I plan to go on a spiritual journey to Bali for a few months, learning the Balinese way of life. The people in Bali believe that the physical world is permeated by the spiritual world. I wish to learn more about the buddhism religion, the origins of yoga, and the arts in Bali. Not only do I want to dive into the culture of Bali, but I also want to see the enchanting waterfalls.

I plan to live and work in California after college. Since I will be living on the beach, I would like to one day own a mountain home near a famous ski resort in Europe. I love to snowboard and hike. It is great exercise and a lot of fun. My home would have a meditation/yoga room and a therapeutic swimming pool and spa. I would want this place to be the epitome of relaxation.
